An exceptional original mid-century fashion sketch, hand-rendered in ink on archival paper. This illustration features an elegant evening column gown with a dramatic criss-cross neckline, perfectly capturing the refined minimalism of the late 1950s/early 1960s Parisian-inspired aesthetic.
This is a true studio production sketch, as evidenced by the original four-hole binder punches along the left margin. These marks indicate its historical use as part of a professional designer’s archival lookbook.
